Cubism and the Fourth Dimension

Abstract: This article revisits the historiography of Cubism and mathematics, with a particular focus on Pablo Picasso's uses of geometry at the end of the first decade of the twentieth century. In particular, I consider the artistic appropriation of the concept of the fourth dimension, and its pictorial uses as a conduit for a conceptual reformulation of pictorial space. I investigate Picasso's distinctive adoption of this geometric framework in relation to one of his 1909 experiments across painting and photography, a… Show more

Kaedah yang sama digunakan oleh Salvador Dalí (1904Dalí ( -1989 bagi menggambarkan dimensi 'masa' dengan mengetengahkan subjek 'alam bawah sedar' yang melampaui alam fizikal dinamakan aliran surrealisme [8].…”

“…The physics discoveries of electromagnetic and radio waves, X-rays, and radiation at the end of the nineteenth century filled the emptiness of Euclidean space with different types of energies; Albert Einstein's special and general theories of relativity combined four dimensions in a single continuum. For further reading on the connection between the formation of Cubism and Suprematism with these scientific achievements, see Henderson, 1975Henderson, -1976Ambrosio, 2016;Luecking, 2010. 3 Henri Bergson introduced the concept of duration (la durée) (1889); time became a major theme in Edmund Husserl's thought (1928), Oswald Spengler dedicated his work The Decline of the West to the evolution of concepts of time and space and its influence on the nature and development of world cultures (1928).…”
